Flynn PTO Update 5/19/13

 

Springfest at Flynn School!  Lucky for us the weather cooperated and Flynn families of all ages turned out for bubble making, bouncy castle jumping, face painting, magic shows and yummy treats.  So nice to catch up with families and watch the kiddoes having a ball.  Lots of lucky kiddoes got to take home books from our first annual bookswap.  Do you have books that you no longer use that you want to donate to the Summer Bookmobile?  Send them on in to the PTO mailbox and we will pass them over to Mr. Tim - You may see your same books this Summer when Mr. Tim bikes into your neighborhood on his Bike-mobile!



PTO purchased playground gear is getting put to the test.  The basketball court got chain nets in hopes that neighborhood kids stop cutting them down - let's hope these ones stick around.  Word has it that the custodial staff put them up and were sighted "testing them out to make sure they worked ok..."  Other goodies include a variety of balls from footballs to kickballs, sand toys and ball pumps.


The Annual Staff Appreciation Luncheon is this Wednesday.  Flynn families will be treating staff to a yummy sit down luncheon and the luxury of  a leisurely lunch thanks to the army of parents coming in to cover lunch/recess duty.   I know the staff members are grateful for the monthly events that show them how important they are to our children - and to us.  Thank you in advance to all the families giving their time and culinary skills to this event!

Word on the street is that Flynn won the Linden Landscape and Design Schoolyard Habitat Contest - not yet confirmed, but we'll keep you updated!
